ASX/Media Announcement Bapcor Limited (ASX:BAP)
19 October 2021
2021 Annual General Meeting
(I) Chair’s Address
I am delighted to present to you my first annual general meeting of shareholders Chair’s report which is for the year ended 30 June 2021.
The 2021 financial year delivered record results across Bapcor despite ongoing challenges and uncertainty in a COVID-19 environment. The Bapcor team once again delivered record annual revenue and earnings proving their dedication, and adaptability with a strong response to the unprecedented circumstances. The result highlighted the resilience of the Bapcor business in difficult economic conditions. It is worth reiterating that Bapcor is predominately a non-discretionary business, supplying essential parts and supplies to keep vehicles operating safely.
A final fully franked dividend of 11.0 cents per share was declared and paid in September 2021. This brought the full year fully franked dividend to 20.0 cents per share, representing a 14.3% increase on the prior year.
The safety and well-being of our team members remains at the forefront of Bapcor’s priorities. We reviewed our workplace COVID safe plans, rolled out wellness programs focused on mental health, introduced paid pandemic leave and encouraged working from home where possible. Succession planning and development plans were also completed across the business over the course of the year.
At the 2020 Annual General Meeting, Shareholders delivered a first strike on Bapcor’s Remuneration Report. The Board acknowledged the sentiments of shareholders and in response Bapcor has amended many parts of its Remuneration practices, which are outlined in detail in the 2021 Remuneration Report.
Bapcor is committed to accelerating our work to deliver on our environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategy. To emphasize the importance of this area the scope of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee has been expanded to include ESG. The Group’s initiatives and targets are outlined in the annual report including the vision that Bapcor aspires to be net carbon neutral.
In line with the annual review of Bapcor’s strategy and reflecting the exceptional progress made in 2021, the 5-year strategic targets for Bapcor have been updated with physical store and own brand targets revised upwards. The revised 5-year strategic targets will ensure Bapcor maintains its strong growth trajectory.
I would also like to acknowledge Andrew Harrison’s outstanding contribution in shaping Bapcor to be the business it is today. Andrew retired from his position as Chairman after 7 years with the company, including 4 years as an Independent Non-Executive Director. We extend Andrew and his family our very best wishes for his retirement. In September 2020 Bapcor welcomed two new Independent Directors to the Board, Mark Powell and James Todd, as part of the Board renewal and succession planning. We continuously review the needs of Bapcor and will appoint additional directors as appropriate.
==> picture [595 x 115] intentionally omitted <==
The success of Bapcor is in our people. On behalf of the Board, I wish to express my gratitude to our leadership team and to all Bapcor team members for an exceptional year. We also thank our shareholders, franchisees, customers and suppliers for their ongoing support and contribution to the continued success of Bapcor.

Retail – Discretionary Retail – Non-discretionary Trade & Wholesale – Non-discretionary
-
90% of the Bapcor’s revenue is attributable to parts that must be purchased otherwise a vehicle will not be able to be driven safely
-
c.80% of Bapcor’s revenue is generated by trade and wholesale activities
-
A considerable portion of the retail revenue relates to non-discretionary parts or services (an additional c.10%)
-
A maximum of c.10% of Bapcor’s revenue might be considered discretionary retail spend
-
This significant amount of revenue linked to non-discretionary spend differentiates Bapcor from many other retailers and distributors which is evident in the resilience of Bapcor’s results irrespective of economic conditions
Note: Retail non-discretionary considered to be products required to be able to maintain and operate a vehicle safely (batteries, electrical, oils/additives, spare parts).

-
The fundamentals of the vehicle aftermarket continue to remain strong, notably:
-
An additional c. 350,000 vehicles are added to the Australian & NZ vehicles on the road every year

-
Trends evident during Covid-19 are likely to continue:

More people spending their holidays domestically utilising their vehicles
-
-

-
The first half of FY22 is expected to be softer than the first half of FY21
-
The second half of FY22 is expected to be stronger than the second half of FY21
